Insights from nutrition professionals on Australian eating habits
Sports Nutritionist, Sydney
"Many Australians are active but don't adjust their nutrition accordingly. A surf session or bushwalk burns more calories than people realize. My advice? Listen to your body's hunger cues after activity, but reach for nutrient-dense recovery foods like banana with peanut butter or a tuna salad roll."
Indigenous Food Educator, NT
"Modern Australian cuisine has so much potential to incorporate native ingredients. Kakadu plum has 100 times more vitamin C than oranges. Warrigal greens are more nutritious than spinach. I encourage everyone to explore these ingredients - they're sustainable, local, and packed with nutrition."
Tried-and-tested midday meals from our team across Australia
Quinoa, roasted sweet potato, kale, avocado, and a tahini-lemon dressing. Topped with sunflower seeds for crunch.
Mixed greens, grilled barramundi, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and a yoghurt-dill dressing. Served with a slice of sourdough.
